The net form of net blotch caused by the necrotrophic fungus Pyrenophora teres f. teres is a major disease of barley, causing high yield losses and reduced malting and feed quality. Exploiting the allelic richness of wild barley proved to be a valuable tool to broaden the genetic base of resistance of modern elite cultivars. In this study, a SNP-based nested association mapping (NAM) study was ...

OBJECTIVE To understand factors associated with pediatric inpatient safety events, we test 2 hypotheses: (1) scarce resources (as measured by Medicaid burden) in safety-net hospitals relative to non-safety-net hospitals result in higher rates of safety events; and (2) higher levels of severity and more chronic conditions in patient populations lead to higher rates of safety events within hospit...

This paper presents a new algorithm for timingdriven cell placement using the notion of movable Steiner points that capture the net topology. The proposed algorithm improves the timing closure at the backend of the EDA design flow. Unlike conventional flows that perform placement and routing in two separate steps and use rough estimates of the net lengths during placement, our algorithm uses ac...

We report the results of time series analysis of human body sway while quiet upright stance. The bivariate records (stabilograms) are measured by means of a force plate. To investigate interrelations between oscillations in anterior{posterior and lateral directions we use several techniques: cross-spectrum analysis, generalized mutual information, and calculation of instantaneous relative phase...

Experimental and theoretical studies were conducted to simultaneously study the role of particle size and gas pressure on nonlinear behavior of dust oscillations in a plasma. Oscillation spectra were experimentally obtained by using four different sized (1.5, 2, 3, and 4 mm) particles at 250 mTorr, which is high pressure compared to previously reported works. The measured results were in good a...
